Twilight Prophet

Description

The Twilight Prophet card number 88s from the 2018 Rivals of Ixalan Promos set represents a powerful addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. As a mythic rare Vampire Cleric, this card offers distinct gameplay mechanics that appeal to strategic deck builders and collectors alike. The creature costs four mana to cast and features the flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground blockers while delivering damage. The card’s most defining feature is the Ascend mechanic. When a player controls ten or more permanents, the Prophet grants the city's blessing for the remainder of the game. This blessing triggers a potent effect during the upkeep phase: the player reveals the top card of their library and adds it to their hand. Simultaneously, each opponent loses life equal to that card's mana value, while the Twilight Prophet's controller gains that same amount of life. This dual benefit of card advantage and life gain makes it a formidable presence in longer games. Designed by artist Seb McKinnon, the 88s promo variant carries the PRIX set code, distinguishing it within the broader Rivals of Ixalan release. Collectors often seek out this promo for its foil finish and high rarity tier. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the intricate world-building of the Ixalan block, where vampire tribes and ancient treasures drive the narrative. For enthusiasts of the format, owning this card provides both aesthetic appeal and tactical depth. Whether building a competitive deck or expanding a thematic collection, the Twilight Prophet stands out as a key piece of the 2018 promo landscape.
